Enter basic data for Putaway
Explanation
Warehouse attributes that regulates the putaway can be set for a specific level in the warehouse structure i.e.
site, warehouse, bay, row, tier and bin. These values are used as a part of the putaway process when moving parts
in inventory. They are used to find the best available location for a part. Based on the selected warehouse node,
the fields displayed can be different. Entered values are inherited down to the whole underlying structure, unless
deviating values are entered on lower levels.
Examples of attributes that can be entered are:
- General - block of receipts, hide from the Warehouse Navigator display, block mix of part numbers or
condition codes.
- Capacities and Conditions - width, height, depth, volume, weight, temperature and humidity.
- Handling Unit Capacity - define that, as an example, only one pallet will fit per location. If the capacity
is exceeded, the location will not be available for putaway. As soon as a location capacity exists for a handling
unit type and that handling unity type is moved there or planned to be moved there, the location will be
dedicated only for this handling unit type. Then the location cannot be combined with parts not packed into
handling units or other handling unit types as top-level.
- Capabilities - if a location can handle explosive or flammable goods or if there are different security
levels used for locations.
Prerequisites
A warehouse structure and warehouse basic data need to be in place.
